Anyone bought or have info on " sub.moa " ar 15 kit...  It's 695 and I know I could buy a cheap, yet decent, ar for less but was wanting the satisfaction of doing it myself...  Plenty of ways to do it, including buying each piece separately...  Thoughts, direction all input appreciated in advance...

Why not just get this kit from PSA?  http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/blem-upper/psa-16-m4-cmv-chrome-lined-premium-blem-rifle-kit.html

Throw in a $50 lower and you have a nice rifle for $480 before shipping and transfer.

50$ lower from where?...   Would also need a jig, cheapest I found is 89$...  Also been reading a lot of bad news about PSA...

From here among other places, $50 lowers are plentiful: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/10445/category/4282/

You also definitely do not need a jig and PSA is good to go.

PSA is gtg. When it says please allow 15 days to ship, they usually mean it. If in a hurry buy elsewhere.

The only bad news I have heard about PSA is that their shipping is slow.  But they do have great prices.

Also do not get confused thinking that PTAC is a part of PSA.  They are 2 different companies and PTAC products are merely sold through PSA.  PTAC uppers I have heard aren't any great besides a heavy beater upper.

PSA’s customer service and attitude about it sucks … their great if you feel (like them) the customer is always wrong

Yeah, too much bad news on PSA...  They don't seem to have any 80% lowers anyway...  I've come to a decision and believe I'll go with 80percentarms.com
Looks. Like a great jig, the anodized lower is a little more than I wanted to spend but appears to be spot on...  Now to find a good M4 upper...  
Thanks for the input...

Kind of hard to compare PSA to an 80% lower and worry about fit and finish of the PSA.  Also... holy crap that's an expensive 80% build.  With that, you're paying almost double for an 80% lower than lots of us pay for PSA lowers.  Once you add in the jig, you're spending more than I spent on my ridiculously expensive Noveske lower, and that's before you put any work and additional money into finishing it.

with the jig I can build more than just the one AR...  the mil-spec type III hard anodize and a flared magwell...
soon as the jig and lower arrive ill post the in progress pics...  i might still go with the submoa kit for the rest, unless i see something else that looks as good...  already decided the next build is an AR pistol...  

Thanks for all the input...
